• Read: [[For a Red Zoopolis]]

  • Very good. On [[eco-socialism]]. I like the description of a what [[abundance]] could actually mean.
  • Also introduced me to the idea of a [[Zoopolis]]…

• I have oscillatory waves of activity on my garden.

  • Sometimes I have blocks of focus on the mechanics of how the garden works.
    • All the PKM, zettelkasten, smart notes, kind of stuff.
  • Then periods of time spent on the actual content.
    • Reading, taking notes, writing about politics, technology, the environment, etc.
  • Occasionally there is a moment of harmony between the waves where the two almost intersect.
    • e.g. critical theory of social media, how digital gardens, the Agora, fit in to that, etc.
